Trex lasts forever. No muss, no fuss. Expensive as all get go, more than high quality exotic wood. But gee, Mr. Homeowner, just think of all the $ you will save over the years on maintenance!
Composites, at least the older generation of products, was a well marketed hoodwink of deck builders and the public alike. Glad they were taken to the cleaners on class action lawsuits.
These poor customers. Not only is the floor a mess, the Trex has expanded to the point of no drainage. They have free ice skating rink in the winter and nice huge puddles in the summer after a rain.
The cedar balustrade has some foul oil over a failed waterbased stain. To add insult to injury, under all that the cedar substrate is mildew stained, probably from the infamous Behr's oil stain debacle.
I pity the public. Poorly served by product manufacturers, builders, handymen, and so called pressure washers. The smoke in the 2nd pic is coming out of my ears!
Thanks to Diamond Jim Foley of Ct. and Tony Szabo of Midwest Mobile Washers for their suggestions on restoring composites. This job will be spotless, at least for a few months, when we are finished.
Another fun job started last week.
